Cataract Surgery Services

At Nishant Eye Hosptial we have seen it all and done it all . We have been a witness and a part of the revolution in cataract and refractive surgery. We were the frst to start phacoemulsifcation as well IOL implantation as far as our district is concerned. We were the frst in India to perform bilateral implantation of the ACRYSOF ReSTOR IOL .

A cataract is clouding of the normally clear crystalline lens of the eye.

Surgery is the only way a cataract can be removed. No medication, dietary supplements or exercise have been shown to cure cataract. The decision to operate is taken by the patient and the doctor together, based on the degree to which the cataract is impairing vision and the effect it has on patients lifestyle, as based on the individuals need.

All patient undergoing cataract surgery should have their eye thoroughly checked up to rule out other eye disease some of them like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal degeneration, break may need prior treatment to get good results after cataract surgery. With modern advances in cataract surgery, one does not requires to wait till vision drops to fnger-counting or less; as cataract operation has become very safe daycare surgery

The cataract is removed through a very small incision using a process called phacoemulsifcation. A sophisticated machine is used to break up the cataract into extremely small pieces using ultrasonic Power.

We have highly sophisticated phacoemulsifcation machines From AIcon, USA. The use ofadvanced technology in these Machines has increased the safety of cataract surgery tremendously The pieces are then washed out of the eye.

After surgical removal of the cloudy lens , it is replaced with a Acrylic lens called the intraocular Lens The intraocular lens is folded and inserted through the eye. The extremely small (2 mm) incision allows the surgery to be completed without sutures and very fast recovery. The new technology IOL’s like the wavefront guided aspheric IOL, Toric IOL, multifocal IOL, Pen Optix etc have changed the way patients vision can be restored after cataract surgery

The power of glasses required after cataract surgery is also now very small. The latest instrument used to calculate the power of Intraocular Lens to be implanted in your eye is the IOL master from Tomey. The accuracy of calculations is useful to get the least amount of glasses after surgery.

Now cataract surgery can be customized depending upon the eye of patient and to match his daily activities.
